[Coco] Joystick alternatives

[Al Hartman]

Owning one of those, and having sold lots of them at Spectrum Projects, and 
Zebra Systems...

They are no replacement for a real Coco joystick. Coco games are written for 
the potentiometer joystick and expect values along the line from minimum to 
maximum. This adapter only indicates full left, full righ, full up, and full 
down, because that's all an Atari-type joystick can provide.

This will work with some games, but games like Polaris are better with the 
potentiometer joystick.

There is a Coco joystick on eBay now, and usually always Apple ][ and IBM 
sticks which can be adapted.
